Capture Ship Quote by Greg Spry
““We cannot let these beings capture us or this ship.” He looked at each of the others before speaking again. “That leaves one course of action. We make the attempt. If the shuttle brings us back, we keep it out of enemy hands. If it destroys us, we accomplish the same aim.” Brooke””
